Add the olive oil and mash potatoes into the flour, adding a little of the potato water at a time; work in all the potatoes and dough is soft and pliable. Add a little more flour, if needed. Cover dough with a bowl and let rest for 30 minutes. Take pieces of dough and roll into rope. Cut into pieces 1/2 inch long. Press each piece with two fingers to cause the dough to roll up. Let rest until ready to cook in kettle of bolung salted water until gnocchi rise to top. They will be transparent when cut in half.

Topic: Gnocchi (pronouced no-key or yo-key, Italian, for dumplings). An excellent side dish. >another McBust from Pat Hanneman (kitpath) Notes: F. Spawn of Banning wrote, "Being Italian, I learned at 9 years old to make potato gnocchi from my mother, a great Italian cook." Fran believes adding eggs make gnocchi heavy. This is her recipe for gnocchi made with potatoes, flour and a little olive oil.
